Leverage is a term used in finances related with CFD’s (Contracts for Difference) and loans.
When trading with CFD’s we are trading over the difference in the variation, which allows us to bet a lot more money than we actually have available in bank.

Ever since my presentation I said I was a professional trader and that my favourite market is tennis. Since then I've received multiple e-mails and, more recently, PM's asking me about my tactics, emotional control and how it is like to live off the income of this job.

Many people, just like me, like to set goals. That's only natural, since it gives us control over our actions and next moves, as well as allowing us to reflect upon past actions. But what happens when that becomes a negative thing? Ever wondered about that?

Imagine you have 100 thousand to invest and find a fund that allows you a return of 14% a year.

If you have a bank of 100 thousand divided into 40 units, you would have 2500 per unit. Therefore, throughout a season, if you had placed 304 bets, you would have placed 760 thousand in bets, which means betting 7,6 times the value of your bank.
